<p><br />
I&#39;ve just finished (ok, I haven&#39;t <em>finished</em> it finished it) my first scraps blanket. I decided only to use DK and worsted weight yarns; I didn&#39;t have many fingering or bulky weights, so will use those for a smaller project sometime. I found that using the same hook throughout ended up evening out the tension, and am really happy with how it turned out. Same goes for granny squares. Here&#39;s a pic from a while back:</p><br />

<p>Good idea mixing the yarns. I&#39;m going to try to be pretty random and just pull colours so this may be interesting once it&#39;s done!</p><br />GO for it!

My trick is combining yarns or doubling to increase the &quot;weight&quot; Do you know the old measure wraps per inch? Without pulling on the yarn roll it around a ruler and count the strands between inch markings This is somewhat time consuming but gives a real accurate match. Another faster way is the rule of thumb; 2strands #2 weight equals 1 of #3 weight/<br /><br />
2 strands#3 equals 1 of #4/<br /><br />
2 strands # 4 equals 1 of #5/<br /><br />
2 strands of #5 equals 1 of #6.<p>I have made several scarves using several types and weights of yarn in each one. Gives some really nifty effects. To my mind it&#39;s more important to make sure the yarns can all be cleaned the same way. Nothing like all synthetics plus one unshrunk cotton or a part wool that can&#39;t machine wash.

<p>I want to make a blanket and use up all my scrap yarn. My problem is a lot of my yarn is different weights / types. Is that OK or should I stick to the same weight for the whole thing?</p><br />
